Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 651: Face the enemy head-on
Zhao Min heard this and replied: "Of course I know I have to fight, but I just don't know which way to fight is better. After all, you are the Zhonglang General and also the staff general, and I want you to work together as the staff general."

Lan Yu spread her hands and said, "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

When Zhao Min saw Lan Yu, he calmed down his usual arrogance and was willing to listen to himself.So she told her plan.

"Now that the opponent's army is pressing down on the border, and they also have siege weapons including returning artillery, our passive defense is not an option. Sooner or later, the walls of Suzhou City will be knocked down by them. Therefore, if we want to hold on in this battle, we must open the city gates and attack proactively. , so that the opponent's siege equipment cannot be used, and then we can rely on the dangers of the Suzhou River to hold on."

After hearing Zhao Min's plan, Lan Yu nodded.

This is exactly what Lan Yu wants to say.If you can't hold on to the current situation, you can only be passively beaten.Suzhou City is located in the south, and Zhang Shicheng did not equip the city with defensive weapons such as artillery.The only things that can be used to defend the city are the thunder stones, rolling wood and some bows and arrows prepared in advance.

Without the defense of these heavy weapons, it would be difficult to defend Suzhou City from the attack of siege equipment. Even if it were defended, it would face heavy casualties. After all, no one is made of iron, and the soldiers also need to rest.

If Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were rotated and the flying rocks returned from the cannon at this time, casualties would be inevitable.If there are too many casualties, the morale of the soldiers will be low and they will have no fighting spirit, and the soldiers who surrendered before may also defect.

When the people's hearts are exhausted, the city will really not be able to defend itself.

As commanders in chief, Zhao Min and Lan Yu both considered this issue.

Seeing Lan Yu nod, Zhao Min continued: "Then the plan is like this. I just inspected the four gates. Zhu Yuanzhang's main attack direction is the east gate where we are now, and the south gate. Both gates have siege equipment. The emergence of the city. If we can lead our troops to attack and destroy these siege equipment, we can then close the city and hold on. To complete this deployment, we need strong generals who are good at fighting to attack and kill."

Huo Jia smiled at this time and said: "Since the battle with Zhenren Zhang, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time. Princess girl, leave the journey to me."

Zhao Min glanced at Huo Jia, and then said: "No! What I mean is that I will go with General Lan Yu for this battle. I will be responsible for attacking the east gate, and Lan Yu will be responsible for the south gate. Each of us will lead three thousand elite cavalry to charge. , General Lan, do you think there is any problem?"

Lan Yu stood on the city tower and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, which were as dense as ants below the city. Lan Yu said: "The opponent seems to have tens of thousands of people, but the empress only gives us three thousand cavalry each. I admire the courage of the empress. ? Or we should laugh at the stupidity of the empress. What’s more, the empress is a female figure and a hero in the world, but in this matter of charging into battle, it is better for your majesty to take charge personally. "

Zhao Min didn't say anything. She handed a forehead wipe to Su Mengqing. Su Mengqing took it with understanding and then put it on for Zhao Min herself.

Zhao Min's long, beautiful hair was completely restrained in just a few seconds.Although Zhao Min is not very tall.But this military uniform is quite heroic and has a lot of shadows of his father and brother.

After Zhao Min arranged her armor, she said: "Okay, let's go. While the enemy's position is still unstable, rush up and kill them without leaving any armor behind." When she walked to Lan Yu, Zhao Min also Patted Lan Yu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, those six thousand cavalry are the absolute elites I sent to train. They are all good at riding and shooting, and their charging formations are absolutely reliable. Your Majesty has mentioned General Lan's martial arts before. Since Your Majesty If I can trust you, then I will leave you in charge of the enemy troops at the south gate."

After saying that, Zhao Min walked down the tower on his own.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit.There is already a bloody horse under the tower.There was a bow and arrow hanging on the saddle of this handsome tall horse. Zhao Min took a spear from the soldier beside him, and then got on the horse beautifully.

Huo Jia put his hands in his hands, looked at Zhao Min and said, "I only knew you could ride and shoot. I didn't expect you could also shoot." Zhao Min held up the spear, then grabbed the reins and said, "What's the matter? When I was young, I Living in the grasslands and the Ruyang Palace. I also grew up on horseback. Riding, archery, and horse fighting are the special skills of us Mongolians. How can I not do it? What’s more, I learned hundreds of skills in the Prince’s Palace. I know a little bit about general knowledge, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks."

Hearing this, Huo Jia raised his thumb and joked: "Wuji, that brat, is truly blessed to be able to marry you in this life. In this case, I wish you success."

Lan Yu, who had been standing behind everyone, also said at this time: "In this case, I am dignified." Lan Yu looked at his stature. Now he is an upright young man. When he was still growing, his stature was not very high. "How can I, a six-foot tall man, be weaker than my daughter's family?"

After speaking, Lan Yu also took three steps and two steps at a time, and turned over to his mount "Black Wind".Although his mount is not as good as the bloody horse under Zhao Min, it is still a good horse that can travel hundreds of miles a day.

After Lan Yu got on the horse, he said: "In that case, I will go to the south gate to order troops. Concubine, we see you on the battlefield! Drive!" After saying that, Lan Yu quickly left on horseback.

Zhao Min took the helmet from Su Mengqing.

Huo Jia said: "It's really difficult for you this time. Zhang Wuji, a bastard, knows how to enjoy himself and let us do all the hard work."

Zhao Min smiled when he heard this and said: "Sister Huojia is serious, brother Wuji has been too tired during this time. He used to protect us, now it's our turn to help him. Besides, although brother Wuji has the intention to surrender, , but you have to completely defeat the opponent's fighting spirit. At that time, it is the most suitable opportunity for him to appear again."

After saying that, Zhao Min mounted his horse and headed to the camp, where three thousand fully armed elite cavalry were already ready, waiting for Zhao Min's order.

After Zhao Min gave a simple lecture, he led the cavalry and rushed out from the east gate of Suzhou City.

Seeing the Suzhou City gate wide open, Tang He, who was in charge of the main attack on the east gate, was a little confused. He did not expect that the enemy would dare to open the door and attack proactively under the premise of such a large force.

Tang He sat on the observation deck and said to the deputy general next to him: "What are they going to do?"

The deputy general took a closer look and said, "Commander! Those who rushed out seemed to be cavalry, and they seemed to be coming specifically for us!"

Tang He calmly picked up the West Lake Longjing tea beside him and took a sip from the jade pot in his hand.This is the trophy they got from annihilating Fang Guozhen. The taste of West Lake Longjing is not bad.

Tang He put down the jade pot, looked at the troops rushing towards the formation and said calmly: "Archers, prepare! Sword and shield formation to cover!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the deputy general immediately stood on the observation tower and conveyed the order to the soldiers below in flag language.
